I have small group of guys (10) coming with me to Al Ain to work in the aviation industry. We are looking for 1 and 2 bedroom apartments as well as a villa for 3 to 4 of the guys. I'm doing a little research in finding what the average cost of the apartments as well as a villa would cost. They will need to be completely furnished to include utilities. I have lived in Abu Dhabi for several years back in 1996. My wife and I loved it. We still have lots of friends in Abu Dhabi as well as Dubai and they are also helping. If you have a e-mail address of somebody that can help please post it. If you have any do's as well as don't please post them

Thanks
Rusty

Hi Lisa :0)

We are able to use our magic jack but only when we have hotspot shield on. Mike has hotspot on memory stick and can put it on K's computer if he doesn't have it already. We even have an extra magic jack if you want it.

Default Al Ain school fees update

My in-laws want to move to Al Ain from Sharjah and are wondering about school fees. Their kids are in years 6, 4, and lower 2. Any information on recent ballpark school fees much appreciated, especially for AAESS, Manor Hall,
ADEC, American School, Canadian School, Dhafra...

Many thanks!

My boys are 7 and 9 and from memory their school fees at AAESS are about 26 K and 29 K respectively - may be slightly off but will give you a ball park figure!
Cheers

Have had them at home without my husband there and they are great. Bring their own tools, go out to buy anything they don't have, and leave the place in good clean condition. They even arrive when they say, and call 5 min before to warn you- an amazing thing in Al Ain! 050 793 4652
